Sanctum
by frikinjay
Sanctum gathers a large number of quality-of-life tweaks, server utilities and fixes into one mod, so a world does not need a dozen separate ones.
What it does
Sanctum bundles many small changes that most modpacks add one at a time, covering settings, server tools and fixes. Its Settings screen opens from a gear button next to the Singleplayer title on the title screen, from the Config button in Mod Menu, or with Ctrl + K anywhere. The Dungeon Config ships inside Sanctum, so no separate install is needed for it, and each feature can be turned off, with changes applied right away or after a restart.
Graves are one of the larger features. When a player dies, the items, armour, offhand, XP and slots from mods such as Accessories, Curios, Trinkets and backpacks are captured into a grave marked by a player head where the player fell, so dropped items do not explode across the floor. Graves are blast-proof and only break open for their owner by default. Chat tells where a grave is, and a grave view shows its number, coordinates, dimension, time left before it expires, and who may open it. Graves glow through walls when the player is within 10 blocks.
Key features
Settings screen
A settings menu reachable from the title screen, a keybind, or Mod Menu lets players adjust each feature.
Grave capture
Inventory, armour, offhand, XP and modded slots are stored in a grave instead of dropping on the floor.
Grave information panel
A grave view lists its number, location, dimension, time left before it expires and stored XP.
Grave access rules
Graves are blast-proof and open only for their owner by default, with access that can be changed in settings.
Full-chest inventory view
Large inventories spill across pages that flip with arrows in the title bar, so every item stays reachable.
